Chapter 1074: 336. “Smuggling” Aggregate_2
Approaching noon, Noland Lee found traces of the Ancient Tomb Wizards near a small Alchemist Faction base.
The small Alchemist Faction was named the “Bone Carving Enthusiasts Association,” specializing in creating artworks from the skeletons of magic beasts.
Three Ancient Tomb Wizards had joined this Alchemist Faction, serving as technical advisors under the guise of bone crafting experts.
While making bone carvings for the association, the Ancient Tomb Wizards also purchased rare magic beast skeletons through them.
Usually, the Ancient Tomb Wizards kept to themselves and rarely left the association’s grand building.
Only sellers carrying a large number of rare magic stone corpses could see their true faces.
Noland Lee had a plan in mind.
He returned to Sector 7 and found Cindy, asking her to help him forge the identity of a legitimate hunting team leader.
About an hour later, Noland Lee returned to No. 18 Sector, stopping in front of the grand building of the Bone Carving Enthusiasts Association.
This time, he wore a neat, short alchemist robe, his face covered with the traces of long exposure to barren lands, and he was followed by two hunting team guards for appearances.
He took on the name Da Vinci and, posing as the leader of a monster hunting team, visited the Bone Carving Enthusiasts Association.
Outwardly, his purpose was to sell five complete and high-quality Thundering Elephant skeletons.
In secret, Noland Lee intended to use the transaction as a pretext to meet any one of the three Ancient Tomb Wizards.
Escorted enthusiastically by the association’s receptionist, Noland Lee led the armed guards into the building and finally, in a secluded visitor’s room, met the real target of his visit.
“Mr. Da Vinci, please allow me to introduce you,”
the receptionist said with a beaming smile, bowing slightly and pointing to the skeleton frame seated behind the round table:
“This is a special technical advisor invited by our association. He is a genuine Skeleton Undead, renowned for his ability to appraise bones. I hope his appearance hasn’t frightened you…”
“Skeleton Undead? A person from the Undead Cult?” Noland Lee acted like a true Golden Federation man, scrutinizing the Ancient Tomb Wizard in the black robe with suspicion.
“No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood. He is a Death Clan Wizard from the Ulnas Circle.” The receptionist pulled out a chair, inviting Noland Lee to sit, and then turned to the Ancient Tomb Wizard:
“The upcoming appraisal work will now be in your hands, Master Nissan Dak.”
The Ancient Tomb Wizard named Nissan Dak nodded faintly, exuding the demeanor of a master.
With a wave of his hand, Noland Lee instructed the armed guards behind him to bring out the Thundering Elephant skeletons and place them on the table for the master’s appraisal.
The diameter of the large round table exceeded 10 meters, barely accommodating the Thundering Elephant’s skeleton.
Taking advantage of Nissan Dak’s appraisal, Noland Lee cast Deconstruction Technique on him.
Fate was kind this time; Noland Lee had encountered the leader of the three Ancient Tomb Wizards.

Harmless Deconstruction…
Noland Lee observed Nissan Dak discreetly, looking for any abnormalities.
At least from the outside, he didn’t see anything unusual about Nissan Dak.
“Confirm Harmless Deconstruction,” Noland Lee silently ordered in his mind.
[Harmless Deconstruction Successful!]
